Hera:

Is the Greek goddess of marriage and the wife of Zeus. Her caring nature and radiant beauty made her one of the most popular gods know in history.

The goddess possessed many powers, like all the Greek gods, some of which were:

Flying

Teleporting

Shape shifting

As well as amazing strength and power, each god also had an animal which was dear to them. For Hera it was the beautifully coloured bird, the peacock.

"You have a peacock?" Ayoko looked up from her book. Hera stood under the changing tree; the wind gently blew through her hair as she turned to the child.

"Yes I do, but we need to make your power stronger before I can show her to you." Hera smiled.

Ayoko turned away for a moment as she read over the words in her book. "It says other gods have powers. Who are the other gods?" Ayoko questioned.

"The book will tell you all you need to know. However, it's not just me here to protect you." Hera sat beside the child as confusion washed over the young girl's face.

"I have more gods?"

"You have three more to find. When you have found these gods, you will be strong enough to enter the challenges set by Kingdom Hall."

"How do I find them?"

"As you grow, your power will grow. I am just the weakest of the gods given to you."

"You're the weakest?!"

"That is why I was able to watch over you when you were so small; you only had a small amount of magic in you then."

"So I have always had magic, even when I was a tiny baby?"

Hera slowly nodded in response to the question.

"Wow!"

"Your brother has it, too. Magic within him."

Ayoko looked at her blankly. "You mean his rainbow making?"

"His power is much stronger than that, just like yours will be. You both need to find your path and believe in yourselves."

"But Kiyoshi...he's so small, so withdrawn from the world."

"But your powers are equal."

"I worry about him, Hera. He seems so lost."

"The answers he seeks are further away than yours. I am here for you, but your brother hasn't got anyone to guide him other than you."

Ayoko placed her head on her knees and looked out into the sunset. "Guide him...how do I do that?"

"Make him listen. He will find all he needs once he does that."

"Listen? Listen to whom? Has he got gods just like me?"

"No, gods are your gift. He has something equal, but he just needs to find himself."

"What is his magic?" Ayoko looked up.

Hera smiled before answering. "The stars…" she whispered.

Ayoko looked at the woman with annoyance. "That's not the answer. I know he loves the stars! What is his magic Hera? He needs to know!"

"He needs to go on a journey to find who he is. Then, and only then, will he know his magic."

Ayoko turned away. She began ripping up chunks of grass with her bare hands.

"How am I supposed to guide him if I don't know what his magic is?!"

Hera ignored the question. The sun had almost set, and darkness began to cover the garden. The moon was almost visible in the sapphire sky. The pair sat in silence as the wind howled through the branches of the tree, causing its dark brown leaves to swirl to the ground.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get mad at you, I….I just worry about him," Ayoko said. Hera moved closer, gently wrapping her arms around the young child.

"Ayoko, come in now please. It's almost bedtime," Erza called from the patio.

The young child lay in Hera's arms a little while longer before she headed into the house with her book. Her parents were sitting in the living room with just the light from the television shining.

"Is everything okay? Ayoko asked.

"Of course, sweetheart. Do you want something to drink?" Her mother moved from her father's arms.

Ayoko noticed that her mother's eyes looked red, and when she glanced over to her father she saw that his were the same. "Um, please may I have some tea?"

Erza smiled down at her daughter as she passed her. "Go sit with your dad while I make you some."

"I want to watch you make it." Ayoko smiled as she turned and followed her mother.

The pair worked together to make three hot mugs of tea, and Erza put some homemade cookies on a plate while her daughter finished stirring the drinks. The three of them sat together on the cushioned sofa, watching the pictures from the television as the fire crackled.

Ayoko let out a small yawn as she snuggled into her father's side. "Someone's tired?" Jellal laughed quietly.

"You take her to bed. I'll be up there in a minute." Erza smiled as she kissed her daughter goodnight. Jellal lifted his little girl into his arms and made his way up the stairs.

Erza breathed out as she cleared the table. The night was late, but her worried thoughts were still awake and they wouldn't stop. What had upset her boy so much he would want to hurt himself? Why did he not want to see the stars anymore? What had happened in that room...?

Upstairs, Jellal questioned, "Do you want me to put this book with your others?"

"No." Ayoko reached out to take it.

"Wouldn't you prefer a teddy bear?" Jellal smiled.

"You can't read a teddy bear, Daddy!" Ayoko giggled.

Jellal tucked the pink sheets around his daughter's tiny body before turning off the lights.

"Wait, Daddy, you're forgetting the curtains. Kiyoshi won't be able to see the stars." Ayoko sat up and leaned on her arm.

"Your brother is in Mummy and Daddy's bed tonight. He doesn't want to see the stars anymore. Goodnight, beautiful."

The door slid shut, and Ayoko looked over to her brother's bed. It was empty and she was alone.

"Daddy!" Ayoko raced out the room and stood on the dark landing with her book in her hand.

"Ayoko, what are you doing out of bed?" Erza questioned as she reached the top of the stairs.

"I don't want to sleep alone, I want Kiyoshi…."

"What's the matter? You're normally alright in that room alone."

"I…I….I just want Kiyoshi with me."

Erza looked up to Jellal for an answer. Both twins couldn't sleep in their bed; it wasn't big enough. Jellal turned from the entrance of the bedroom and returned with Kiyoshi in his arms.

Ayoko smiled as her baby brother was placed in his bed.

"If he wakes up, you come and get one of us, okay?" Erza instructed her daughter.

Ayoko nodded in agreement and rushed over to the curtains, pulling them open.

"No, we don't have them open now." Erza rushed over, shutting away the night sky.

"Your brother has a night light instead." Jellal switched on the lava lamp from the book corner.

"Now, get some sleep." Erza guided her daughter into her bed, kissing her soft cheeks before leaving the room with her father.

Ayoko waited until she heard her parent's bedroom door close before she left the comfort of her own bed. "I will guide you," she whispered aloud.

She slowly climbed up onto the rocking chair and gently pulled the curtains open. The night sky was clear; each little glow from the stars could easily be seen. They were miles away, but their light burned bright. This was her brother's path, and he just needed to listen.

Ayoko scrambled down from the chair and climbed into bed with her brother. She gently wrapped her arms around him as he stirred in his sleep.

"Shhhh," she soothed him. "Just listen, listen to them...don't be afraid…I'm here."

Kiyoshi pushed himself closer into his sister's body as he heard the familiar whispers from the night sky.

"Everything will be alright, I promise." Ayoko yawned as her eyes slowly began to close.

The room filled with the gentle breathing of the children and the quite rocking of the wooden chair, light from the moon and the stars shone through the clear open window, the twins were safe, they were together.

"Erza…." Jellal slowly shifted across the sheets to her side. "Try to get some sleep. They're together; they'll be alright." Jellal gently took hold of the baby monitor that was in her hands.

"I failed him. I'm a terrible mother!" Erza cried as she sat on the end of the bed.

Jellal placed the monitor on the bedside table as he took her into his arms. He rested his head on her shoulder as he spoke in whispers to her. "You're not a terrible mum. You love him and he knows that. This parenting thing is all about learning. There will be mistakes, but together we'll make him a better person. Not doing it perfectly doesn't make you a failure; it makes you human."

He brushed her long scarlet hair from her face, her last tear rolling down her warm, red cheeks. Jellal gently placed his head on hers.

"I love you," he whispered before placing his soft lips to her moist, heated skin.

"I love you to," she replied as she turned her head to face him. Erza gently brushed her fingers through his long blue hair. She held onto him as he placed his hand over her right cheek and gently kissed her trembling lips. The two slowly lay down together, wrapping their bodies into one another.

Jellal held his Erza close as her eyes flickered. The room fell into silence, only the gently breathing of the pair could be heard now. Jellal began to drift away into his dreams as the morning sun began to peek over the hill in front of the tiny cottage.
